These ads are for two groups of people: the Kool-Aid Drinkers and the Ignorant.

These ads are for the same people that display their blatant ignorance by still calling him Barack Hussein Obama.

These are terms that show up in the top Google search terms that contain Obama:
obama antichrist
obama birth certificate
obama muslim

People making searches like these are the ones targeted by his ads.

JD, you'r way off base here. The people who are doing those searches don't need to be swayed by any media. They've already made up their mind about Obama. These ads are targeting people who don't pay attention to politics and who may have no idea who they are going to vote for.

As for calling him Barak Hussein Obama, what's wrong with that? It's his name isn't it? Why was it ok to call former Presidents by names like John Fitzgerald Kennedy or Franklin Delanor Roosevelt? What about actors? Should we call Malcolm Jamal Warner just Malcolm Warner? Just kidding about the last part.

Newsflash - negative ads have been around as long as there have been political ads. And it's not just the Republicans, although some here would have you believe that.
